I would like to dedicate one of my next fantasy paintings to Kasadasi/Pigeon Island/Lady`s Beach and this great forum. I will do some sketches in the next days and want to finish the painting after my visit in Kus in September.

I want to give you the chance to take the female part (no nudity!) as you really seem to love Kus. All I need is a portrait and one picture to see your figure (no not nude!!).

I try to post the sketch within the next days so you will see what I mean.

If people love something or someone so much, they get creative and write or paint or do a lot of crazy stuff. I am shure that artists did a lot work dedicated to Kus but I could not find something on the net. Do you know any artwork about Kus?

What a brilliant idea. I can´t wait to see what you produce Vadde.

I´ve seen bit´s of art or illustrations with a Kusadasi theme hanging on people´s walls down there. But nothing terribly exciting.

**Jumping up and down in antcipation** Kusadasi has so many eccentric characters and landmarks....it´s the perfect motif!

I am shure that I can only understand what you mean, when I was there to see it with my own eyes. That`s why I am starting with a rough sketch now and add and change details later.

I try to be in Kus as soon as possible. If you these four characters in the streets of Kus it`s us.

[vadde]

Yes that`s my family. It will be our first holiday with the whole family members. You see my wife Hatice,my daughter Dilara (12) and my son Taylan (21 month).

That`s why my nick is vadde, which stands for father in the region of Frankfurt, where we used to live before we moved to Karlsruhe.

my wife is writing poems, but she hasn`t published yet. She`s supported my work through all the years, knowing that I am not really an easy person to live with. I take my daughter to all invitations and events to get used to the public and to learn about drawing and painting.

My son knows my work. You have to hear it when he says "babaaaaa", when he discovers one of my pictures in a magazine. It feels so good.
